快速公交系统的生命周期排放及与其他客运方式的比较
本研究的目的是分析在墨西哥和拉丁美洲的公共交通系统(BRT)的排放,并将其与其他公共交通工具进行比较。采用井到轮生命周期分析(lca)方法。使用OpenLCA®软件、Ecoinvent数据库和城市中可用的信息。考虑了气候变化影响类别(C0排放(2-eq))和PM2.5、CO和NOx排放。使用的功能单位是每公里污染物质量和每乘客运输(质量/公里-乘客)。lca表明,TransMilenio每公里二氧化碳当量、CO和NOx排放量最低,而电动BRT和天然气公交车的PM2.5排放量最低。摩托车产生的PM2.5排放最多,而出租车产生的NOx排放最多。最后,如果TransMilenio公交车从柴油改为电力,二氧化碳当量和PM2.5的排放量将分别减少86%和88%。然而,与侧重于控制其他类别车辆排放的战略相比,这一减少是微不足道的。本文介绍了跨千年公共交通系统(BRT)的排放,并与哥伦比亚波哥大的其他客运方式进行了比较。使用的方法是生命周期分析(lca)良好的车轮。使用的软件和数据库分别是OpenLCA®和Ecoinvent,以及城市中可用的其他信息。该工作考虑了气候变化的影响类别(排放C0(2-eq))和PM2.5、CO和NOx的排放。使用的功能单位是每公里污染物质量和每乘客运输(质量/公里-乘客)。lca表明,TransMilenio每公里二氧化碳(2-eq)、CO和NOx的排放量最低,而BRT电力和天然气公交车的PM2.5排放量最高。PM2.5排放最多的是摩托车,NOx排放最多的是出租车。最后,如果TransMilenio公交车从柴油改为电力,C0(2-eq)和PM2.5的排放量将分别减少86%和88%。然而,与将战略重点放在控制其他类别车辆产生的排放上相比,这一减少是微不足道的。本文介绍了哥伦比亚波哥大快速公交系统(BRT)与其他客运方式的生命周期排放。我们采用了生命周期评估(LCA)和车轮健康方法。我们使用OpenLCA软件、Ecoinvent数据库和城市中所有可用的信息来执行这个LCA。考虑了气候变化(C0(2-eq))和PM2.5、CO和NOx排放的影响类别。功能单位是每公里和每乘客运输的污染物质量(质量/公里-乘客)。这项工作的结果表明,包括快速公交在内的公共交通工具产生的CO2-eq、CO和NOx排放量最低。同时最基层的PM2.5排放民工一by an electric公司董事公交车准备by天然气。摩托车和私家车的PM2.5排放量最高,出租车的NOx排放量最高。最后,如果TransMilenio公交车从柴油改为电力,二氧化碳当量和PM2.5排放量将分别减少86%和88%。但是,这些数值低于以控制其他车辆类别的排放量为重点的战略所取得的减排效果。
